The Keystone Network goes far beyond traditional student counseling, providing young adults from diverse backgrounds with the resources and support they need chart successful paths into the future.
At The Keystone Network, we have expertise in a broad spectrum of academic and career options, including college preparation as well as vocational training, alternative career paths, and even gap year planning.
Our engaging and well-rounded programs help students prepare for professional and personal success by honing skills such as networking, professional etiquette, and personal finance, so they can step into new roles with confidence.
Our services are accessible to all students, not just those with financial or social capital. We strive to create a level playing field where every graduate has the resources and opportunities to build a secure and rewarding future.
Our programs are built on six major components, which we customize for each client to create a comprehensive plan for academic and professional success.
There’s no one-size-fits-all path to a successful, fulfilling life after high school. For some, college is the logical next step. For others, it may be trade school, entrepreneurship, or a year of discovery. The Keystone Network helps students explore all the options on the table, and map out a strategic path forward that fits who they are and where they want to go.
With support tailored to their individual needs and goals, every student – regardless of their life circumstances – can create a post-high school plan that feels exciting, realistic, and totally their own.
Internships and entry-level experiences are more than résumé builders—they are essential tools for self-discovery, skill development, and industry access. These opportunities can be difficult for students to secure on their own, and opportunities often go to students with inside connections, while others may feel shut out. Through established partnerships with local businesses and organizations, the Keystone Network opens doors for students from all backgrounds, and prepares them to pursue these roles with confidence and a sense of direction.
In our Internships + Career Placement programming, we work closely with students to:
Applying to college should be an exciting time, but all the research and paperwork can make the process overwhelming – especially without a clear vision for the future. The mounting cost of a college education puts even more pressure on the process. The Keystone Network’s College Application Support program guides students and families through the college selection and application process with clarity, care, and minimal stress.
A combination of workshops and one-on-one coaching helps college-bound students to:
With the right support, students and families gain confidence in their choice of schools and their ability to make their college dreams a reality, without regrets.
Some of life’s most critical skills—like budgeting, communication, time management, and leadership—are rarely taught in school. Today’s young people are entering the workforce with knowledge and technical abilities, but without the soft skills they need to operate smoothly in a professional setting, demonstrate leadership, and respond with resilience to career and life challenges.
The Career + Life Skills we help young people to develop include:
Each student’s path is unique—our coaching reflects that.
support doesn’t end when a student gets into college or lands their first job. The Keystone Network offers ongoing, one-on-one coaching relationships that grow with the student, from high school through college and into early adulthood. When obstacles arise or plans change, we’re here to help students recalibrate and and leverage their strengths in new ways.
Our Lifelong Coaching includes:
Our coaches are more than advisors—they are trusted allies who help students see what’s possible and take confident steps toward it, every stage of the way.
